A message from Let’s Go! Gulf Coast:
After more than a decade of serving communities across the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Let’s Go! Gulf Coast has concluded operations as a nonprofit organization. While this chapter has come to a close, our commitment to supporting healthier, more active communities will live on through the resources and initiatives we leave behind.
For over 12 years, Let’s Go! Gulf Coast worked to combat childhood obesity and promote healthy lifestyles by encouraging children, families, schools, and communities to eat well, move more, and make healthy choices part of everyday life.
Throughout the years, we had the privilege of working alongside schools, early childhood centers, healthcare organizations, local governments, businesses, community partners, families, and countless individuals who shared our commitment to improving the health and well-being of children and families across the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
We are incredibly proud of what we accomplished together and deeply grateful to everyone who supported our mission.
Our 5-2-1-0 Resources Will Remain Available
Although Let’s Go! Gulf Coast is no longer operating as a nonprofit organization, this website will remain active as a resource for our community.
Families, educators, healthcare professionals, and community organizations are encouraged to continue using the 5-2-1-0 healthy lifestyle resources available throughout this site. We hope these materials will continue to support conversations, education, and activities that encourage healthy habits among children and families for years to come.
Let’s Go! EXPLORE Gulf Coast Will Continue
One important part of our work is also moving forward. The Let’s Go! EXPLORE Gulf Coast mobile app will remain an active initiative. The app maps local parks and green spaces across the Mississippi Gulf Coast, helping individuals and families discover places to get outside, be active, and explore their communities.
Our former Let’s Go! Gulf Coast social media channels will transition to Let’s Go! EXPLORE Gulf Coast, where we will continue sharing local parks and green spaces, opportunities for outdoor recreation, app updates, and ways to explore the MS Gulf Coast.
Thank You for More Than a Decade of Support
To every community partner who collaborated with us, every organization that invested in our work, every educator and healthcare professional who shared our message, and every child and family who participated in our programs — thank you.
The impact of Let’s Go! Gulf Coast was made possible by a community that believed healthier choices and active living could make a difference in the lives of our children.
While the organization itself has closed, we hope its message continues—in classrooms, homes, healthcare settings, community organizations, parks, and green spaces throughout the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
